Conceited bureaucrats<\/p>\n
One of the keys to President Soeharto's success in leading
\nthis nation was revealed when he received 90 officers studying at
\nthe Armed Forces Staff and Command School, on Sunday, December
\n24, on his Tapos ranch in Bogor.<\/p>\n
Speaking about his experiences during the early days of his
\ntenure as president of this Republic, Pak Harto said he often
\nheld discussions with experts in the fields of economics and
\npolitics because at that time his knowledge of such problems was
\nlimited.<\/p>\n
For that reason the President reminded both civilian and
\nmilitary officials not to be arrogant when facing problems
\naffecting society, particularly when they lacked knowledge.<\/p>\n
In periods of transition such as the one the Indonesian nation
\nis going through at present, when the value system is still in
\nthe process of finding a format which fits the community's new
\nlevel of intellect, those who act with conceit may still be able
\nto find a place in society. Like in a river during a flood, the
\nscum will tend to drift at the surface. However, as soon as the
\nflood is over, the solid rocks will emerge.<\/p>\n
